filling the gap between theory and practice

“Everyone is a capitalist – until you remind them that they are not supposed to be.”

ha!

i’ve definitely been more capitalist than i profess or want to be lately. the arrival of summer (and the fact that i no longer have any credit card debt to send all my extra money to) has send me into a little bit of a spending spree…and it’s a helluva guilty pleasure.

i think i finally hit my guilt limit though (definitely not my spending or shopping limit), and have now officially opened a savings account which i vow not to pull money out of except for two things: 1) emergencies (let’s hope there aren’t any), and 2) trips out of the U.S. – hopefully in the not so distant future. i’m much better about managing my money if i have definitive and separate places to put it. having all my extra money just sitting in my checking account since i paid off my debt has not been a good thing. it just gets spent. it’s a small thing and probably not newsworthy (whoohoo! i got a savings account! like…duh.), but it’s a big step in the direction i want to go.
